According to statistics, more than 1,800 PPP projects have been launched across the country, with a total investment of 3.4 trillion yuan. During the "13th Five-Year" period and the promotion of "PPP" mode, the domestic environmental protection industry will usher in an investment feast of 17 trillion yuan. It can be expected that with such a large investment scale, the "PPP" model will play a more important role.
In the first half of this year, Premier Li Keqiang presided over an executive meeting of The State Council. Meeting requirements, in areas such as transportation, environmental protection, pension, promote the government and social capital cooperation mode, to competitive selective social capital, including private and state-owned enterprises, expand the supply of public goods and services, and according to the performance evaluation to give reasonable returns, is the transformation government function, stimulate market vitality, create new important economic growth point of reform measures.
It is not a new thing to adopt the PPP model in the field of environmental infrastructure construction. It has been more than ten years since the early BOT project. On July 31,2013, Premier Li Keqiang of The State Council proposed to attract private capital to participate in the construction and operation of operational projects by means of franchising, investment subsidies and government purchase of services. As a major reform measure in the new round of urbanization construction, this is considered as a signal of the opening of the PPP mode.
After two years of development and innovation, statistics show that more than 1,800 PPP projects have been launched across the country, with a total investment of 3.4 trillion yuan.
PPP has become one of the words in infrastructure and public services. Since 2015, the PPP model has been fully launched in various places. Local governments at all levels are busy recommending PPP projects, many projects have been quickly launched, and problems in construction and operation have also erupted, which is called the "first year", especially in the field of environmental protection.
Environmental protection can be said to be an area of the PPP model. China's demand for environmental protection investment is huge. According to the estimates of the Planning Institute of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, it is expected that the investment will increase to about 2 trillion yuan per year during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, and the total investment demand for social environmental protection during the 13th Five-Year Plan period will exceed 17 trillion yuan. Such a huge investment demand, the finance simply can not meet, the social capital must be introduced through the PPP model. In order to introduce social capital, we must solve the problem of environmental service pricing and charging mechanism.
Will next year be the environmental PPP contract signing year?
The PPP model is playing an increasingly important role in the field of environmental protection.
2016 is the first year of the 13th Five-Year Plan. In just ended on the fifth plenary session of the eighteenth, "much starker choices-and graver consequences-in planning" the green development in the five development concept, for the first time proposed "the most stringent environmental protection system" and "beautiful China", "concept, and put forward" to establish and improve the energy rights, water rights, emissions, carbon emissions initial distribution system "," cultivating and develop trading market ", this is a major innovation of environmental protection system, also for environmental protection PPP stand on industry more wind mouth to provide fertile soil.
The most important reason for the implementation of the PPP model in the field of environmental protection is that we hope to get more support from social capital.
In the past, environmental protection basically relied on ecological compensation from the government. In this way, one box increases the burden of local governments, and the other box is not attractive to social capital. The 13th Five-Year Plan will focus on encouraging local governments through the trading mechanism, that is, local governments can get their saved emission rights to the market trading. The initial allocation system will complete the determination of the confirmation of rights and create conditions for ecological space. For the financing problems that constrained environmental protection in the past, more social capital can be attracted through "green finance" and "PPP model" on the basis of the overall development of ecological space.
During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, under the air, water and soil control campaigns and the "PPP" model, the domestic environmental protection industry will welcome an investment feast of 17 trillion yuan; The Ministry of Finance also estimated that China's infrastructure investment scale will reach 42 trillion yuan by 2020.
It can be expected that with such a large investment scale, the "PPP" model will play an important role. Environmental protection industry, as an important field of public services and products, must be inseparable from the "PPP" during the "13th Five-Year" period. As the first year of the "13th Five-Year Plan", 2016 will enter the year of landing, and many industry insiders call it the "environmental PPP signing year".
